Thanks anon, and yeah that fanart was really something. I use it sometimes as the background when I'm tired of the pink bedroom or stale grey background. I feel guilty if I don't post with progress so here's a part of a title screen featuring new temporary death animation menu monster chase will probably be done last before art asset revamping, so never.

You don't even need to be smart, you just need practice and good resources. Try shit that's currently outside your abilities, Google stuff you don't know, and make an effort to actually understand why the answers on Google work.

Using Unity3D 5
Made all the meshes in Maya

So I wanted to make an I-dont-know-yet thing and within it I wanted to try and recreate some of the controls from the Ocarina of Time style Zelda games. One thing that's giving me a really hard time is how Link would automatically jump if he walked off a ledge. I've tried a few strategies, one was to test if Link was suddenly falling after running a certain speed. Another is to cast a ray out like a steep walking stick. If the walking stick goes from a walking surface to nothing while running a certain speed then the character jumps. Both of these strategies caused no jump when there should be a jump and jumps when there should not be jumps. Really they don't work at all.

Is there an elegant solution beyond finding a way to place triggers on all appropriate ledges to initiate jumps?

Another thing about this scheme is that link will sorta fall off a ledge and then catch himself if you walk off very slowly, and he can never fall off a ledge while swinging his sword. It's very bizarre and I don't really know how to replicate it.

>>126905161

>>126905160
whats the problem?

>>126905038
I think raycasting down is the way to go, if the raycast suddenly goes further than half the models height + some tiny margin check how far the analog stick is moved, and if it's bigger than some treshhold jump, otherwise do fall and catch thing.

The can't jump while swinging thing is simple, there simply is no transition from the swinging state to jumping state.

>>126905284
Is that blue girl naked senpai?

>>126905239
I'm trying to modify that thruster system so that each thruster contributes its force only once. The only good way I can think of is to do it 100% within the physics engine, but that requires the ship to be perfectly balanced which I don't really want to bother with.

I had something that resembled working but it ran into a nasty feedback loop with the inertia cancelling system that made it spin out of control and I don't know what that happened.

>>126905451
yea but she's a fish so she has flaps over her nips

>>126905038
i can't imagine why the raycast thing wouldn't work, unless your link model is getting hit by the raycast. set him to the "ignore raycasts" layer if you haven't

>>126905487
>fish
>girl
I can already smell the stank

>>126905391
but you could still just fall off the edge according to physics. I suppose the original OoT didnt have physics. So how can I set up a character that treats ledge as walls, and can still fall according to gravity? If I can do that then it'd be easy to test collisions and input to make trips and jumps.

But then how do I do that? Right now link is a rigid body that is driven around by mecanim. Obviously I'll have to replace the rigid body with some kind of "grounded" test and have a falling animation that makes link fall when in the air.

>>126905303
>>126905469

oh and I also want to make sure that thrusters that are opposite each other don't fire at the same time since that would logically be a waste of fuel

right now I just have a list of thrusters for each maneuver and go through turning them on and off as required, it's not pretty.

>>126905492
Yeah he's not causing his own jumps. It specifically only looks for objects on the terrain layer. The problem with the raycasting thing is that if the ray is too steep, pointed too straight down, then it becomes unreliable when walking off a ledge. If it is pointed too far out it becomes hyper active. I got it into a sweet spot, but it's still finicky.

>>126905821
just fake it
if you want it realistic you need to write down some differential equations and then use control theory to regulate thrust

>>126906271
>untyped

oh my god what the fuck why

>>126906271
>three levels of indentation for literally no reason

>>126906217
The thrusters firing or not firing is purely visual so that's pretty important either way.

The thing I specifically want to simulate is if you want to say, pitch and roll at the same time, some thrusters are doing double duty, so the total maneuver should be slower rather than 100% pitch + 100% roll. It has a subtle but I think important effect on the handling. But I have no idea how to calculate that.

>>126906271
Hard coding stuff is fine. It becomes unmanageable if you try to make your game too complicated.

Don't put a block in switch statements unless required. Don't indent so much, someone will murder you.

>>126905038
OH another hing I tried was attaching link to a navmesh. It actually behaved in a way I wanted it to in regards to not allowing link to simply walk off ledges. However I couldn't get link to do ANYTHING on the ledges because he was bound to the nav mesh. I made a script that would like diasble his navigator during a jumps and would then re-enable it when he landed, but it would cause him to teleport to weird spots on the navmesh if he jumped out of bounds of one.

Link can also climb on top of objects that can be moved around, like boxes, so that feature would be absent from my game if I relied on the navmesh.

i refactored a lot of my combat code and this is what i came up with
everything's pretty rough around the edges atm but it's starting to feel like an actual game

judging on this alone though, i feel like the monsters need to spray way way way more bullets, or have more interesting attacks

i keep thinking back to MH for design stuff, but i'm not so sure it applies to a topdown game well

y_ex = c.bounds.extents.y;
B = getcomponent<Rigidbody>();
}

bool Grounded(){
return physics.raycast(c.bounds.center, transform.down, y_ex + 0.1f);
}

void update(){
grounded = Grounded();
if(!grounded && body.velocity.y == 0){
B.addforce(Vector3.up * 100f, Forcemode.impulse);
B.addforce(transform.forward * 30f, Forcemode.impulse);

I think if your game is almost about the interface, make it more interactive. Like in Papers Please - there is no buttons and shit, but you just use your mouse cursor to use stamps, x-rays, documents etc.

Tell me a single benefit of doing that.

It's retarded coding, you need to separate game logic from game performance.

>>126916030

>>126915962
It is retarded because then you need to lock the frame rate to make the game play how you intended it or you get shit like Fallout 4 where the game is twice as fast on 120 Hz monitor

And how would that even possibly work in a multiplayer game? You'd end up with situations where the client thinks it can/can't fire while the server thinks the opposite.

It is objectively, unequivocally, a bad idea to tie things to framerate.

Speaking completely out of my ass, I'd assume if DF slows down at low framerates, it's probably because the simulation is actually not able to run faster, not because it's speed is tied to framerate.

I don't understand what exactly you want, do you mean
transform.lookat(vector3); ? this makes your transform.forward looking into the direction of the vector3 you want, and you can still use transform.right etc., and if you want to find out the specific numbers, you can afterwards simply get and store the transform.right vector into another vector3 variable.

Maybe you should write what exactly you want to achieve.

alternatively you can message them directly but that's pretty autistic if you're not already well-established as a proven dev

At the moment you can only equip one item, which in this case is the pickaxe - it is not in your inventory. It works something along the lines of:

>pick up items
>they show up in your inventory at the bottom of the screen
>you open the inventory (the selected item is highlighted)
>you choose the weapon and equip it, which makes it go to where it is in the webm
>subsequent hits are made using the equipped item

+blocking and the ability to sustain a block

>>126919086

Why not? They seem easy to make and could offer knowledge to make more sophisticated others later.

>>126918994
Literally anything. I'd reccomend javascript or HTML5 or construct since a game such as a clicker needs to be as accessible as possible.
> implying anyone would notice your game amongst the millions of other idle games though

So, I've decided that a sideways shooter would be a good game to make as practice next.

Is it realistic to make one in a month (I don't work for now)? All types of bullets, powerups and everything.

>>126918994
Honestly, unless you're doing something quite graphical, it's really simple to just do it in a base language. I'd recommend developing your skills in a language rather than an engine, as that applies more widely that a single engine.

>>126919197
Man, we both know you want to spew out the easiest to make game possible in order to exploit the OCD market for a quick buck. It's as lazy as you can get, and not what game development should be about. But that's just my opinion, make whatever you want, but don't try and cover it up with doing it as an educational experience.

>>126919325
Depends on how good you are with your tools
It's definitely possible to get a really good base for any game started in two days (see ludum dare games).
A month polishing that up, and you can release a full game.
Depends on you pretty much.

How does this room look? Anything I should improve or fix?

>>126919042
The reason i thought that you can equip multiple items is because i saw multiple hearts in the same kind of box directly above the item box, that makes you think you will have multiple itemboxes for selection there later. If you can only have one item over the course of the entire game but multiple hearts, i would make the item box more distinguished from the heartboxes, maybe a 2x2 box, or put it on the upper right edge of the screen or somewhere else.

>>126919325
Extremely easy. You could get it done in a week if you don't care about level design or graphics.

>>126919325
As long as you are in yesdev mode and not depressiondev mode it should be fine. Just watch out for scope creep. Remember that it's usually not just implementing features that takes time, but polishing them into something you actually want to play.

>>126910697
Not sure what language it is, but I know in Swift you don't need to write break, it does that by default

My PC did this shit once and I lost like an hour of placing shit in Unity because it's not like I think about hitting the save shortcut in the editor very often.

The hearts are your health - the same way they are in many games, for example Binding of Isaac, so they "stack". The equip-able things are like trinkets in that same game - you pick them up and then they are sort of passive.

As for the visibility, the key idea here is the position, can't alter the size of it, because it has to be found in the dungeon, which is made up of tiles of the same size. Also, the right hand side of the screen is for the same information on your enemies, i.e. the hearts they have and the weapons
equipped.

The only thing I'm not sure about now if there would be any benefit / interesting gameplay in adding multiple weapon slots.

its not fullbright though its 220, 220, 220. please get your facts straight senpai

>>126921226
good eye. im gonna make them more vertical and make them come a bit from the left

Ok that's my answer. Nevermind!

pugdev? m-more like nodev lmao

if you're working in 3 dimensions you need a second vector in order to find the normal vector

i have a version with posterization shader enabled and this is what it looks like. i removed the godrays because i need more work on them to make them not look bad with the shader on

>>126921495
comparison of what?

>>126921560
I can tell you that this isn't pugdev
it's his evil alter ego known as MothPug. Watch out before he takes your progress!

I don't care where the second direction points as long as it is perfectly perpendicular. Like imagine the direction as a stick which is stabbed into a circle perpendicular any line that goes from the center of the circle to its radius is thus a line perpendicular to the stick and any of those directions would be enough for me.

light vs no light

>tfw can't post progress of mobile games because the gameplay is usually simple enough for someone to be able to release a clone before you can finish yours

>>126922223
yes someone here will totally steal your game thats most likely a ripoff from some 2004 newgrounds flashgame

>>126922223
Good, we don't want to see mobile games here. Fuck off. And that goes for the rest of any you reading this who are making mobile games.

we're all stuck making 2d platformers but we're too elitist to take mobile 2d platformers

>>126922474
even we have to have some standards

>>126922005
Are you talking about eulerangle rotations or quaternions maybe? Seriously man your describing is cryptic as hell, just give as an example of what specifically you want to achieve plus an mspaint drawing or something.

then use the world up direction and the cross product like the other anon said

>>126922606

lights are better

he means this

on the left any arbitrary point on the circle can create a normal vector

he doesn't understand he needs a second vector in order to use the cross product to find a specific normal vector

>>126922606
I asked 5 people on Steam. 4 said left, one said right. I prefer left.

>>126922890
i give up

>>126922606
remove flower light keep godrays in the back

>creepy irc pedo keeps lurking the thread
why?

>>126916814

Wait, your stomp move doesn't emit shockwaves but instead scatters some bullets?

That's weird anon, not BAD mind you, just weird, I hope you instead to at least add some more visual feedback to showcase the character is stomping down hard, the bullet scatter can stay as long as it's useful
